Prayer Self Consciousness

More From Abraham Joshua Heschel

Faith is the surrender of the mind; it's the surrender of reason, it's the surrender of the only thing that makes us different from other mammals. it's our need to believe, and to surrender our skepticism and our reason, our yearning to discard that and put all our trust or faith in someone or something, that is the sinister thing to me. of all the supposed virtues, faith must be the most overrated.
